All the Pemex stations I've filled up at in Ensenada have been fine. The only problem I've had are the workers at the Sauzal station have give me a
lower exchange rate than what was advertised. Good way to lose business.

Sta. Rosalia takes the prize for the most blatent rip-offs. We make sure we don't have to fill up there anymore.

We have never stopped in Santa Rosalia because of all the bad press. The Pemex at Arumbura Plaza in San Jose ripped me off ONCE. I always watch to
see if the pump is cero now at all the stations.
The best I have found is between San Jose and San Lucas at Cerro Colorado. There was a nomad who went around checking the pour, so to speak, and he
found that this one's pumps were accurate. The people working there are very nice as well.

About a year ago I stopped at the first Pemex I came to in Mexicali after crossing the border, right side, southbound. I filled up the Hummer with
diesel, saw the total charge, and inadvertantly counted out one more hundred-peso note than was required. The attendant gave it back to me with a
lecture on paying more careful attention to money matters in Mexico. On that basis, I would have to count that Pemex in Mexicali as one of the best.

Yes el rosario is bad, but nothing compaired to the blatent rip off of customers in los barriles. That little pemex owned by the van wormers is there
real cash cow, to heck with the hotels.

I must admit, I had to gas up in Santa Rosalia last week. I should have just dropped my pants and bent over. Please don't visualize.

ooops
Sorry, in my post I mentioned el rosario as being bad, that is false. I should have said santa rosalia. Antonios pemex is very honest and they
always want to wash my windows.

I have to go with San Ignacio for the best. The guys there waited until I got out of my coach before even taking the gas cap off. Then they broke out
a couple of long handled squeege's and attacked the windshield (on a coach like mine, normally the only time my windshield gets washed is when I do
it, with a ladder).
When the fueling was over, they wiped off the area below the fill tube (even though they didn't spill any) and asked if I wanted the rest of the
windows cleaned.
When I counted out the pesos, they counted them back to me again, just to make sure.
I can gauge within a couple of liters how much gas I need and they were within my estimate so I don't think the pump was rigged.
I was so impressed that I tipped them 50 pesos.

Must have been after a bus stop there?! Actually, new, larger bathrooms are already planned for the gas station. When Antonio saw a line for the
women's, he went over and invited them to use the bathrooms at the motel... what a guy!

T & t: San Ignacio? Something must have changed. Are you sure you got the liters you paid for? Last B1K I also found them polite and helpful,
but later I had to get a broken motor mount fixed and the mechanic complained of getting a short count there. Said Villa Jesus Maria was also
crooked. Probably neither are AS crooked as Sta. Rosalia. I wonder if she was the patron saint of thieves?

I have driven 3 times to Los Barriles in the last 3 years and each time I got 18-19 MPG in my Astro. (One time with a 14' boat on top and a Quad
inside.)
That is US miles and mexican gallons.
I could not have been cheated very much.
